The MASCOT has been designed as a displacement launch and is easily driven by relatively small engines. An 18 h.p. diesel engine will give a top speed of 11.5 knots and a cruising speed of 9110 knots. Fuel consumption would be 3 litres per hour at full throttle and cruise at 11/2/2 litres per hour. The craft features a large fully protective deadwood so that it can be operated in shoal draught conditions with complete safety. The long keel also makes the craft easily launched and retrieved from a trailer. The MASCOT is constructed from sheet plywood over conventional sawn frames and stringers and the flare is laminated from 2 skins of plywood cut into strips. The interior layout consists of two bunks forward, galley to port, two bunks aft with room for a toilet. This type of craft is extremely seaworthy and can handle rough conditions with ease. The large deadwood prevents broaching in following seas and the high bow and fine entrance give exceptional sea keeping abilities in head wind conditions. A small steadying sail can be fitted if desired and it has been found that these do halve the fuel consumption even in a moderate breeze.
